Description Walking through the market the other day, I saw this drunk coming towards me rather unsteadily, as he passed he tapped me on the shoulder and said "Nice camera, be careful with it if you go to Glastonbury."

Hip-shot.

comment: The statue pose of this character is only deceived by the tattoo and the suspicious bottle. Great portrait, with that signature mark: close and vertical.

He was actually turning towards me as we passed each other, telling me the title.
It was only when I took a look later I saw he was looking at the camera.
I hadn't looked on it as a signature mark, but now you mentioned it, yes, I do
get close to the folk I shoot. To me, that's what Street Portraiture is about,
up close & personal, rarely do I change lenses. My 18-70mm is the main one, and
sometimes, when I'm sitting down at the Love Coffee Cafe, at the market, do I use the 70-300mm,
but then I'm in on a face

Thank you so much, Nuno and blessings for the favour

comment: I bet you already know what I will say 'A candid portrait rather than a street photo!' though quite on the edge between the two categories. The eye contact and the angle, the detail of the bottle and the statue-pose (as pointed out in the comments) are interesting additions and the slightly ominous expression of the man is greatly enhanced by the angle.

Yes Candid Street Portraiture The rules of Street apply here as well. The environment is there.
I was surprised when I up-loaded the day's shoot, and saw his look.
Cheers, m'deer

Great angle. Good contrast-I almost thought that he is a statue.

Wow, seeing the thumbnail, at first, I thought it was a sculpture, one of those frightening sculptures ... then, clicked on it and still thought it was... then, I saw the bottle !!

He almost looks afraid, as though I may steal his soul
Many thanks for the favour, Squire

Earth-Hart In reply to wchild [2012-10-20 17:20:34 +0000 UTC]

No, not really. There's quite a few drunks & drongos there, as they feed off the folk who live there. It's said to be a "Spiritual" town, New Age style. Far from it, where folks who call themselves spiritual, drive about in gas-guzzling 4X4s, and they charge nearly £2000 to make you a priest/priestess of avalon

wchild In reply to Earth-Hart [2012-10-20 18:15:33 +0000 UTC]

Right.. Perhaps it's not the spirituality but spirit instead and hence the drunks. Grandfather died but his spirits still live.
